The British Board of Film Classification said that complaints flooded in over its decision to reclassify it from a U to a PG over the use of an offensive term. It was followed by sci-fi thriller The Abyss and Dune: Part Two17:48, 27 Jul 2025Updated 17:48, 27 Jul 2025Mary Poppins was the most complained about film of last year(Image: Getty Images)Mary Poppins was the most complained about film of last year.The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) said that of the 224 complaints made during the year, 56 were about the hit 1964 family musical. Complaints flooded in over the board’s decision to reclassify it from a U to a PG over the use of the term “hottentots”.The word is used twice by Admiral Boom the Banks family’s neighbour, when he refers to the chimney sweeps covered in soot. Hottentot, now seen as an offensive term, was originally used by white Europeans referring to nomadic people in southern Africa. Those complaining had wanted the rating to remain unchanged.The word is used twice by Admiral Boom the Banks family’s neighbour(Image: Disney/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock)The reclassification meant that the beloved Disney classic was more complained about than the knife fights in Dune: Part Two or the sex scenes in Saltburn.David Austin, BBFC chief executive, said: “The two uses of the discriminatory term ‘hottentots’ are neither criticised nor condemned, increasing the risk that very young viewers might repeat it without realising the potential for offence.”Following Mary Poppins, the second most complained about film last year was the 1989 sci-fi thriller The Abyss with 17 complaints.They related to online rumours that the film had been cancelled over a scene in which a man submerges a live rat in liquid.This was followed by Dune: Part Two in third place with 13 complaints over its 12A certificate being too lenient due to its knife violence.Meanwhile, controversial adult star Bonnie Blue takes fans behind the scenes of her viral stunts in a new Channel 4 documentary. Bonnie, real name Tia Billinger, set the internet on fire back in January after announcing she had slept with 1,057 men in just 12 hours.While TikTok users were furious with the influencer’s latest stunt, she was in the midst of filming a tell-all documentary detailing her day-to-day life. Now, she is ready to share 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story with the world.According to the synopsis: “This documentary goes behind the headlines, clickbait and rage bait to discover what life’s really like in Bonnie’s wild orbit, how she got here and what’s really going on behind those steely blue eyes.Article continues below”The film sensitively explores the central question polarising debate about her: Is she a ‘dangerous predator’, pandering to male fantasies and perpetuating the patriarchy?”Or an empowered, sex positive, businesswoman having the last laugh?”But when can viewers tune in? 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is set to air on Channel 4 on Tuesday, 29 July at 10pm. The film will also be available to stream on Channel 4’s on-demand platform. More

EXCLUSIVE: Daily Star’s Carly Hacon took on Squid Game: The Experience in London — here’s her hot take on how it really stacks up to the savage thrills of the Netflix show…16:53, 27 Jul 2025Updated 17:01, 27 Jul 2025This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn moreEver fancied trying out Red Light Green Light? Now you can!(Image: Getty Images for Netflix)As a huge fan of Netflix’s Squid Game, I was buzzing to find out I could try it out for myself after it landed at ExCeL London.After binging the series (let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), there couldn’t have been a better time for myself and five pals to give it a whirl after finding the tickets on Moonpig.com.However, we were all in for a shock as we didn’t exactly breeze through as seasoned players… As a disclaimer, we looked more like rookies and certainly didn’t take home the top spot.What quickly became evident was that some of us weren’t just here to play, some were here to win (the lads in our group, and particularly my partner, had that killer instinct).We may be smiling for the camera – but we certainly weren’t in the challenges!(Image: Carly Hacon)Relationships and alliances didn’t seem to matter much once we were given our numbered vests. All the ‘mushy stuff’ went out the window and was replaced by cold, calculated competitiveness. Sounds savage, right?!However, this could be due to how alike the experience was to the show’s dystopian world. From the moment we stepped into the arena, we could hear the show’s eerie theme tune and spot several staff members dressed in hooded jumpsuits and masks, just like the series.After being given our welcome pep talk, we were told by staff that “cheating is encouraged” which the room laughed it off at first. But we quickly realised that people weren’t joking. I witnessed players begin scheming, exploiting weaknesses, and occasionally shoving their friends out of the way to gain the upper hand.Marbles were much harder than they looked(Image: Carly Hacon)Now, let’s talk about the challenges… What seemed easy on the show, like Red Light, Green Light, turned out to be far more difficult than expected. It was a test of reflexes, strategy, and, apparently, the ability to betray your loved ones without hesitation (My partner told a guard I had cheated. The cheek!).At one point, a Tug of War game nearly turned into an Olympic event (with less skill and more panic) as two teams battled it out against each other with little to no sportsmanship. We also played The iconic Marbles and Mind-bending Memory Steps, as well as some other challenges that weren’t featured in the show, but I’ll leave those to the element of surprise for budding visitors.Our memories were also put to the test(Image: Carly Hacon)It really felt like we had stepped into an episode of the show, except without the actual life-or-death stakes, of course. Despite the high-pressure atmosphere, no one actually got hurt in the game’s arena, unless you want to count the bruised egos and shattered pride of particular players.The experience was a wild, hilarious, and slightly humiliating rollercoaster of adrenaline, plot twists, and moments that made us question our life choices (and relationships). You really do find out some home truths about your group, like who’s the backstabber, the secret strategist and who simply loses their head when tension hits.The guards made sure to stay in character (Image: Carly Hacon)If you’re like me and a massive fan of the show, then you are guaranteed to love it. Even if Squid Game isn’t your thing to watch on the box, Squid Game: The Experience London makes an exhilarating day out with your pals — just be prepared to lose a little dignity… And possibly a friend or two.Tickets start from £79 (for two) or £152 ( for four) on Moonpig.com.Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?

Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen was left fuming as she shared some “heartbreaking” news from the farm, and fans were quick to share their thoughts on the matter16:29, 27 Jul 2025Updated 16:32, 27 Jul 2025Amanda shared the news(Image: Amanda Owen/Instagram)Fans of Our Yorkshire Farm were left feeling gutted as Amanda Owen revealed some distressing news from the farm. The mother of nine took to Instagram on Sunday, posting a video that she confessed was out of the ordinary for her.Accompanying the clip, Amanda expressed her frustration, writing: “Cross, cross, cross. This is not the normal kind of post I do. Not the kind of post that I want to do.”She continued with a heartfelt message: “I know that it will not make any difference whatsoever, but still I hope that someone, somewhere might feel a little uncomfortable or even ashamed.”These places are invaluable, a part of our history and heritage, they do not formally belong to anyone but have been used by for centuries by shepherds, farmers and commoners. They are still in use to this day.”Amanda Owen wasn’t happy(Image: Instagram/Amanda Owen)The beloved Our Yorkshire Farm personality didn’t hold back as she vented to her audience about what had sparked her ire, reports the Manchester Evening News.In the footage, she stated: “This is not my kind of thing that I would normally be reckoning to put on social media. But this has incensed and angered me so enormously.”It’s not about a gap in the wall that happens, and that can be fixed. I’m talking about this,” she said, pointing out the problem.As she highlighted the damage, she elaborated: “You might ask yourself, ‘What has happened there?’ I’ll tell you what has happened there.”Sometime in the last few days, likely under cover of darkness, someone has trespassed onto these pens on the border between Cumbria and Yorkshire, and they’ve intruded into these beautiful pens that have stood here for centuries.Amanda became emotional and started crying after heartfelt moment with son(Image: Channel 5)”And they have dug up and taken the flags out of the floor. Can you imagine, this floor has stood the test of time. It has been here for hundreds of years.”This isn’t a place that isn’t used. This is a place that has got history. Look. See the beautiful cobbles, see how this is maintained and looked after. This is a little building where the shepherds and farmers in our area actually bring our sheep, when we’ve gathered them in and actually work in them and put strays in here. “.Amanda continued: “But at some point over the last couple of days, somebody has taken it upon themselves to desecrate it, whether they had a job for these flags or whether they just got them because they thought nobody was using this place.”I think that absolutely stinks, it’s our heritage, it’s an ancient, ancient place, and I don’t see that there’s any need to do that kind of thing.”Amanda’s supporters were devastated and furious, with countless people rushing to the comments to voice their outrage.Amanda showed the damage that had been done(Image: Amanda Owen/Instagram)One declared: “People just don’t care anymore, they think they are entitled to do and take whatever they want. It really boils my blood!”.Another shared: “Heartbreaking Amanda. Same thing happened to my husband at the shop we owned in Bradford. Low life thieves came during the night and stripped the back yard of the Yorkshire stone flags, they fetch a good price so that’s why they do it.”A third fumed: “Disgusting! This is the sign of the times here in the UK! total breakdown of law and order!” Another person exclaimed: “That is just horrific! I will never understand how people could do something like that!”.”That’s sad and disgusting in equal measure,” another concurred.Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?

Princess Andre turned heads in a black crop top and matching trousers as she hit the red carpet alongside brother Junior at the Kisstory Blackheath Live festival in London13:26, 27 Jul 2025Updated 13:28, 27 Jul 2025Princess wowed at the celeb event(Image: Getty Images for Bauer)Princess Andre turned heads in a chic all-black ensemble as she graced the red carpet at London’s Kisstory Blackheath Live festival.Fresh from celebrating her landmark 18th birthday, the teenager sported a black crop top and matching trousers, choosing to wear her trademark long curly blonde hair straight. The offspring of Katie Price and Peter Andre was accompanied by older brother Junior, 20, and his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, for the music-filled day out.Junior opted for a casual look in a grey jumper and black jeans, while Jasmine went for an edgy vibe with black camo cargo trousers and a fitted vest.The outing follows Princess’s sun-drenched Mexican getaway last week, where she joined her stepmum Emily MacDonagh’s family, including Emily’s younger brothers, Will and Joe. She shared a series of holiday snaps with fans as she basked in the sunshine.The blonde bombshell looked incredible(Image: Getty Images for Bauer)Despite the celebrations, Princess’s birthday sparked controversy – after mum Katie Price was conspicuously absent from the festivities. Instead of joining the family meal, Katie was spotted partying in Dubai, but later addressed the situation on her podcast with sister Sophie, reports the Mirror.”Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me,” she commented.Katie also mentioned Princess’s forthcoming documentary, revealing she’s not been involved in the filming.Mum-of-five Katie also expressed her sadness that she wasn’t included in her daughter Princess’s documentary, stating, “Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it. Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.”Junior attended the event with his girlfriend by his side(Image: Getty Images for Bauer)Her sister Sophie added: “‘You aren’t on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that’s why’.”Katie seemed to take aim at her ex-husband Peter Andre and their former PR team, who now allegedly handle Junior and Princess’s careers. “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother. It’s sad. It’s so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after..”Article continues belowAccording to reports, Katie wasn’t invited to Princess’s official birthday party because it was being filmed for the documentary. She continued: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it. Certain people who are filming Princess’ documentary used to do my filming. It’s fine, it’s just there’s always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess’ 18th.”Have you joined Threads?

Jeremy Clarkson has been left hugely impressed by England’s Lionesses during Women’s Euro 2025 – but admits his knowledge of the sport does not stretch too farDaniel Windham11:12, 27 Jul 2025Updated 11:23, 27 Jul 2025Jeremy Clarkson(Image: Qian Jun/MB Media, Getty Images)Jeremy Clarkson has weighed in on the Lionesses’ thrilling win over Italy, which propelled them into the Women’s Euro 2025 final.Penning his thoughts in The Sunday Times, Clarkson mused over the nation’s effusive praise for the team after Michelle Agyemang and Chloe Kelly’s late goals teed up tonight’s (July 27) showdown with Spain.“All week, people have been queueing up to shower the England women’s football team with worship and adulation,” Clarkson remarked. “After they reached tonight’s final, the King offered his ‘warmest congratulations’. The prime minister said something or other about hard-working families in the community. And I told anyone who’d listen that our brave lasses were a shining example of the Blitz spirit. Refusing to give in. Beaches. Fields. Never surrender. Etc.”The 65-year-old broadcaster also pointed out that, despite the growing excitement around the Lionesses since their landmark UEFA Euro 2022 triumph, there remains a hint of scepticism from some quarters of the football fandom — including among his own acquaintances.“Friends and colleagues who fancy themselves scholars of the beautiful game were always in the background saying women’s football just isn’t as good as men’s football,” he added, reports Gloucestershire Live.Jeremy Clarkson admitted there are still things that he doesn’t “understand”(Image: Dave Benett/Getty Images for Hawkstone)“They explained that while the players may be hard-working and professional, they shoot from too far out; that sometimes when they head the ball, they have no real idea where it’s gone; and that things can get awfully panicky in the midfield. Oh, and apparently the goalkeepers aren’t big enough.”Clarkson, however, took a step back from these critiques, confessing his lack of deep football insight prevents him from making such technical judgements.Instead, he gauged the game on its thrill factor — and by that standard, he deemed England’s last-minute heroics thoroughly riveting.“I don’t know enough about football to comment on these things,” he penned, “but what I will say is that I watched the last hour of the Italy game on Wednesday and thought it was incredibly exciting. I may have done some bouncing on the sofa.”Sarina Wiegman’s team was teetering on the edge of defeat against Italy when 19-year-old substitute Agyemang spurred them into extra time, netting an equaliser in the dying moments of stoppage time to cancel out Barbara Bonansea’s earlier strike.Chloe Kelly celebrates(Image: Harriet Lander – The FA/The FA via Getty Images)Then, as penalties loomed, Beth Mead earned a spot-kick which Kelly stepped up to take. Her initial effort was saved by Laura Giuliani, but she pounced on the rebound — sealing England’s second consecutive dramatic comeback.“When that teenage wonderkid pummelled it home at the very last moment to create some genuine Hollywood angel dust, I made a lot of squeaking noises,” Clarkson confessed.The Prince of Wales, who supports the Football Association (FA) as its patron and is expected to attend Sunday’s match in Switzerland, sent his best wishes on Saturday.Article continues belowIn an online message, William wrote: “Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow.“The nation is so proud you are through to the final, after some stunning comebacks! We are all cheering you on! W.” More
